Now that you’ve all recovered from the holiday madness of last weekend, it’s time to start planning for your New Year’s Eve. We scoured our list of New Year’s events and picked out some choice events that aren’t sold out and are sure to appeal to a large variety of tastes. We got plenty of burlesque and cabaret, tons of music events featuring everything from electronic, reggae and hip hop to punk rock, metal and polka, a few food events, a healthy smattering of comedy and one event that describes itself as “a post-apocalyptic disco fantasy at the end of the world.” We started as far west as we could go (Kealakekua, Hawaii) and headed all the way to the Big Apple. So, no matter where you call home, there should be something relatively close to you.
This is by no means a complete list of New Years events that we’re ticketing. You can find our complete list of events here and browse the THIRTEEN pages of events.
Not planning on going out? Got your own New Year’s tradition that doesn’t involve battling crowds of drunken revellers? Let us know what your tradition is in the comments section!
But, for those of you that have to get out of the house and party, here’s our picks. Enjoy! Read the rest of this entry »

Today, in 1854, Henry David Thoreau‘s ode to rural life and spiritual discovery “Walden; or, Life in the Woods” was published. Thoreau said “I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life.”
Whenever summer rolls around I feel like pulling a Thoreau and getting out of the city. I’m from a small town in the northwestern corner of Washington State and I never miss it more than when the sun is out. Don’t get me wrong, I love the city but nothing compares to swimming in rivers, going on hikes and laying around in the sun with no sounds but the birds chirping and the bees buzzing. However, unlike Thoreau, I prefer to enjoy the woods with some friends and we’re ticketing some great events that will put you in touch with nature while enjoying good company and fantastic music.
